How did she get her hands on $15 million? Why ain't she in Belize?

She pleaded guilty today...



Facing 20 years in prison. At 52 years old, that might as well be a life sentence. I'd bet pennies to dollars that she doesn't get anything close to that, though.

Fins didn't have them in Ashe and they sold the building to the ambulance guy? It was a new building.

If they didn't miss it they must not have needed it.

Tigra is an international manufacturer. Even in a forensic audit for a company that size, accountants round off at the closest million, at best. Under normal accounting, their accountants usually round off at $5million. If they get that close, they, figure it's good and move on. It's very easy to hide expenses, if you have the authority to sign off on them.

I had a similar thought... she had dirt on somebody! And when that somebody left (or died) then their replacement caught her.

For real! How they didn't notice a missing $2 million a year?

If she's not a genius then Tigra is ran by s with more money than brains.

At my job, if $20 was missing then we'd know it!
